Be prepared for potential delays due to the East Asia Rainy Season (May-October) and secure vessel space well in advance of the China Golden Week (October 1-7) to avoid congestion. Prepare for extended transit times during the Western Pacific Typhoon Season (June-November) and the Eastern Pacific Hurricane Season (June-November). Additionally, factor in the South America fruit export peak (January-May, September-December) and the soy harvest export peak (February-June) when scheduling shipments to Lima, Peru.

Moving Fresh food successfully demands a continuous cold chain. Use thermal containers with the right amount of gel packs for Chilled food or dry ice for frozen goods, pre‑chill products before packing, and choose a expedited service. Clearly mark boxes as “Perishable” and specify the required temperature so carriers handle them as temperature-controlled freight.
Yes, frozen goods can Usually be shipped with dry ice by air, but dry ice is regulated as a dangerous good. Airlines have limits on how much dry ice is allowed per package and per shipment, and labels must show the net weight of dry ice and UN1845 markings. Our compliance team recommends checking carrier and destination rules in advance and combining dry ice with insulated packaging to keep Frozen food at temperature while staying within dry‑ice limits.
Standard cargo policies may limit coverage for temperature-related loss on Perishable goods and Frozen goods. Insurance specialists generally recommend arranging a policy that specifically covers temperature deviation and spoilage, and declaring the full value of your Reefer cargo. Keep packing records and temperature logs; insurers often require proof that correct handling was used before honoring claims.
Most refrigerated food should stay between 0–4°C, while many Frozen food products must remain at −18°C or colder. Exact ranges depend on the product type and local regulations. Always verify requirements for each item and specify the target range on booking instructions and labels so your Reefer cargo is set correctly.
You can sometimes mix fresh food and Frozen food in the same load, but only if your container or vehicle can maintain separate temperature zones. Fresh produce typically needs temperatures above freezing, while Frozen goods must stay well below zero. If only one temperature setpoint is available, We recommend separating them into different temperature-controlled shipments to avoid freezing Fresh produce or partially thawing frozen items.
Fresh and frozen food must be transported in temperature-controlled environments to maintain quality. Proper insulation and refrigeration systems are necessary to ensure that chilled and frozen items remain at the required temperatures throughout the flight.
Shipments of fresh and frozen food must comply with both Chinese export regulations and Peruvian import regulations, including health certifications, sanitary inspections, and adherence to specific documentation such as phytosanitary certificates for agricultural products.
